On the page of your wiki titled Diversity, identify the diversities you have in your classroom, with a brief explanation of how you have adapted your PBL instructional unit to accommodate these learners.

Different learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic)? I think that all learning styles will be addressed rather easily through the implementation of the products of creating the ceiling tile and video.

Linguistic will be addressed through the presentation of learning and critique circles.
Logical-Mathmatical is addressed through the ceiling tiles and newscast.
